He even faked his death, she said. By that point, the woman said she had given him more than $69,000.

"I felt like I was in this hole," the woman said. "And I had to stay in because he kept on making the promises so I could get my money back."

She's not alone. There allegedly are other victims in Southern California.

Court records show Chaiban went by several aliases, including Anthony Marino, Eddie Morretti and Vincent Paul Moretti.

A records check also found convictions in Nevada for fraud, prostitution and pimping, theft, and narcotics.

Team 10 confirmed with Orange County Sheriff’s officials that Chaiban is now sitting in jail, but on an immigration probation violation as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainee. He was arrested on October 25th and is being held with no bail.

Chaiban was being investigated not only by San Diego police, but also authorities in Orange and Riverside counties for the same type of crimes. Even though there are three identified victims, prosecuting Chaiban is harder than it seems, said a spokesperson for San Diego police.

“They’re in different jurisdictions,” said Lt. Kevin Mayer with San Diego police. “Our case is still ongoing and active, but getting more victims to come forward related to this suspect would help us build our case here to move forward with it.”

The victim says this experience has changed her life.

“Oh my god, forever… I’m on guard,” she said.

The victim Team 10 spoke to said she plans to file a civil lawsuit.

10News contacted an ICE spokesperson for more details on Chaiban’s arrest, but they would not comment.
